Complete and efficient conversion of plant cell wall hemicellulose into high-value bioproducts by engineered yeast
Cellulosic hydrolysates contain substantial amounts of acetate, which is toxic to fermenting microorganisms. Here, the authors engineer Baker’s yeast to co-consume xylose and acetate for triacetic acid lactone production from a hemicellulose hydrolysate of switchgrass.
